Saturday's Song. Slow Stitching. Stash Report and An Invitation

Saturday's Song
This week was interesting, filled with challenges and victories! I was reminded of this song. 
  


God didn't mind my questions, but while we are on our journey of discovery and healing, let us remember to Just Be Held.


Slow Stitching
Kathy over at Kathy's Quilts hosts a Slow Sunday Stitching link up.  In fact she's the reason I learned about slow stitching and began dedicating Sundays (and now all weekend) to slowing down.  I so appreciate her influence in my life, her link up and her blog!  I have met other slow stitchers and been so inspired to continue with my own slow stitching projects!

She took a nasty fall last week which, naturally is resulting in a blogging break. I was sad and concerned for her! Imagine my joy to see her link up this morning!   What an inspiration!  Please take time to check out her blog, fill it up with encouraging words, pray for her, and do some Slow Stitching!

For my own slow stitching, I've decided to work on my Fabri Flair bowl.  I started the bowl for her and sense that it's time to send it to it's new home.  


I'm also adding some pockets to Prayer Shawl #3, thanks to a great suggestion from a friend.

Stash Report
Another one of my husband's co-workers had a baby!  Yea!  Mother and child are doing well!  Naturally, a quilt is in order, so I purchased all the fabric necessary to complete this panel quilt.  It will be fun and fast, so I'm hoping the yardage will be used up this week.

For tomorrow's blog post I will be sharing how I figure out yardage for scrappy projects.  I'm not sure if it's accurate, but it's the best I could come up with.  If you have a chance to stop by, I would surely appreciate learning about your own processes!  
Blessings to all!
